Paul Seixas

If the guy keeps this up until the end of October, then I reckon something's up ... oh wait a moment, that's the norm now.

Power of eating an extra plate of white rice at night and an extra portion of porridge and brown sugar in the morning does for you! Contador might have hit 8w/kg if he put the steak knife down and carbed up!

It won't be long until the Tour de France is done in 20 days instead of 21.

But you have seen enough to know when to look away, @Ilmaestro99 ? Many laypeople are concerned and asking questions. I do wish some serious journalists and reporters would do more of it.

But in this universe, why is he so much better than all the other dopers? He is clearly a great talent who was on level with the GT podium guys in Algarve and clearly better than a moderately strong field today. Ayuso and Almeida would probably follow if they were racing in Faun Ardeche.

Feel free to give him the benefit of the doubt. We don't know all the relevant facts.

Not a single serious person has ever claimed to know the limits of human physiology. There could and perhaps should be 1000's of Pogacar's out there who never competed on a bike.


Pourquoi pas?

Hadn't really followed this thread until today. But this post sums up my thoughts on this guy.

Seems the peloton found another super responder? We should have known about super responders since Armstrong's time. I don't think Paul Seixas is doing anything the other top riders are not - why would he be? His physiology just responds to 'methods' better than most others.

But it is refreshing a rider outside UAE is being questioned. Can't blame it on Mauro Giannetti this time. I am looking forward to Strade Bianche.

Until we see similarly crazy results against better competition, I'm not going to overreact based on W/kg estimates alone. I just thought there was enough talk to warrant a Clinic thread.
